(For each band, only those license classes with privileges on that band are
listed. Technician licensees have no privileges below 30 MHz).

-US Amateur Transmitter Power Limits-

At all times, transmitter power must be the minimum necessary to carry out
the desired communications. Unless otherwise noted, the maximum power
output is 1500 watts PEP. All classes are limited to 200 watts PEP in the
80, 40, and 15 meter Novice/Technician Plus subbands. Geographical power
restrictions apply to the 70 cm, 33 cm and 23 cm bands.

60 Meters: Five Specific Channels

The FCC has granted hams secondary access on USB only to five discrete 2.8-kHz-wide channels. Amateurs can not cause inference to and must accept interference from the Primary Government users. The NTIA says that hams planning to operate on 60 meters "must assure that their signal is transmitted on the channel center frequency." This means that amateurs should set their carrier frequency 1.5 kHz lower than the channel center frequency.

General, Advanced and Amateur Extra classes:

Channel Center

Amateur Tuning Frequency

5332 kHz

5330.5 kHz

5348 kHz

5346.5 kHz

5358 kHz

5358.5 kHz

5373 kHz

5371.5 kHz

5405 kHz (common US/UK)

5403.5 kHz

Effective March 5, 2012, amateurs may use USB, CW, PSK31 or PACTOR III *only* with a maximum effective radiated power (ERP) of 100 W. Radiated power must not exceed the equivalent of 100 W PEP transmitter output power into an antenna with a gain of 0 dBd.

The FCC has allocated 219-220 MHz to amateur use on a secondary basis.
This allocation is only for fixed digital message forwarding
systems operated by all licensees except Novices. Amateur operations must
not cause interference to, and must accept interference from, primary
services in this and adjacent bands. Amateur stations are limited to
50 W PEP output and 100 kHz bandwidth. Automated Maritime
Telecommunications Systems (AMTS) stations are the primary occupants in
this band. Amateur stations within 398 miles of an AMTS station must
notify the station in writing at least 30 days prior to beginning
operations. Amateur stations within 50 miles of an AMTS station must get
permission in writing from the AMTS station before beginning operations.
ARRL Headquarters maintains a database of AMTS stations. The FCC requires
that amateur operators provide written notification including the
station's geographic location to the ARRL for inclusion in a database at
least 30 days before beginning operations. See Section 97.303(e) of the
FCC Rules.
